Euro Grid Operator Eyes $1.8B North Sea Wind Farm Islands

摘要

To expand offshore wind in Europe and reduce the cost of connecting turbines farther out to sea by cable as coastal locations fill up, TenneT, a major European transmission grid operator, is studying the feasibility of building a $1.8-billion man-made wind-farm island in the North Sea between the U.K. and Denmark-and maybe others. The plan was developed with an eye toward meeting 2050 carbon dioxide emission targets in Europe, which will require large-scale wind generation in the region.
